MKFS.BFS(8)		     System Administration		   MKFS.BFS(8)

NAME
       mkfs.bfs	- make an SCO bfs filesystem

SYNOPSIS
       mkfs.bfs	[options] device [block-count]

DESCRIPTION
       mkfs.bfs	creates	an SCO bfs filesystem on a block device	(usually a
       disk partition or a file	accessed via the loop device).

       The block-count parameter is the	desired	size of	the filesystem,	in
       blocks. If nothing is specified,	the entire partition will be used.

OPTIONS
       -N, --inodes number
	   Specify the desired number of inodes	(at most 512). If nothing is
	   specified, some default number in the range 48-512 is picked
	   depending on	the size of the	partition.

       -V, --vname label
	   Specify the volume label. I have no idea if/where this is used.

       -F, --fname name
	   Specify the filesystem name.	I have no idea if/where	this is	used.

       --lock[=mode]
	   Use exclusive BSD lock for device or	file it	operates. The optional
	   argument mode can be	yes, no	(or 1 and 0) or	nonblock. If the mode
	   argument is omitted,	it defaults to yes. This option	overwrites
	   environment variable	$LOCK_BLOCK_DEVICE. The	default	is not to use
	   any lock at all, but	it's recommended to avoid collisions with
	   systemd-udevd(8) or other tools.

       -v, --verbose
	   Explain what	is being done.

       -c
	   This	option is silently ignored.

       -l
	   This	option is silently ignored.

       -h, --help
	   Display help	text and exit.

       -V, --version
	   Print version and exit. Option -V only works	as --version when it
	   is the only option.

EXIT STATUS
       The exit	status returned	by mkfs.bfs is 0 when all went well, and 1
       when something went wrong.
